Since 2007, Crosby Hanna & Associates has prepared future growth need analyses and subsequent updates for both the City of Swift Current and the City of Yorkton. Each of these analyses involved a review of the need for additional land development within each respective municipality. The reports examined future land needs for residential, commercial, and industrial development. These were based on the potential impacts of economic development within the region, such as mining activity and oil and gas development, in addition to economic trends occurring within the municipality, population trends, land inventory, and long-term future growth plans.
